Following the success of previous editions at Villa Fenaroli in Rezzato (BS),on Saturday, March 25, and Sunday, March 26, 2023, the halls and galleries of Villa Fenaroli will once again be filled with the atmosphere of days gone by with a new edition of REMEMBER VINTAGE, the exhibition and market dedicated to vintage items, modern antiques, design, handmade goods, and vintage collectibles, offering thousands of Brescia residents the chance to take a trip down memory lane.
An event that has always attracted great interest from vintage enthusiasts and others alike, with consistently high attendance over the two days of the event.
After all, how can one not admire the designs of the greatest fashion designers, who continue to inspire style and the way we dress even today? For the ebb and flow of fashion is like the waves of the sea—they always return.
Think tulle petticoats, the soft pleats of full skirts, or those “bon ton” micro-scarves to drape over bare shoulders and cover the plunging necklines of form-fitting dresses; micro-handbags with handles; or long gloves that exude sensuality.
A market fair held in the halls of this prestigious 18th-century mansion, featuring the finest vintage clothing and accessories, modern antiques, decorative items, period furniture, handmade goods, and remakes, with vendors from all over Italy.
At the Scalabrini Theater on Saturday afternoon: the RAFFY ANGEL SHOW featuring new performances and dance school demonstrations curated by creative and artistic director Raffaella Rubagotti; on Sunday afternoon: the “LADIES & GENTLEMEN SHOW” by Barbievents, a retro DJ set in the Villa’s courtyard, and the Magic Corner by Offar Wolf in the gallery and the Villa’s courtyard;a 1980s-themed photo exhibition and gallery curated by IFerraz Photo, plus a vintage car exhibition with YUPPIES DAYS—the new photo shoot, this time with a 1980s-style dress code—organized by IFerraz Studio and Brescia Up Events in collaboration with Burly& Pupe and featuring the Garda-based band Potaporco.

The dress code? You can go all out… yuppies, hipsters, punks, hedonists.
Fashion in the 1980s was all about excess, color, and women’s empowerment, with a look that was only seemingly unkempt: ripped tights, oversized T-shirts, cropped leather jackets, statement jewelry, and dramatic makeup.
